Chris Burwell, iTech Coach

The instructional technology coach is the key staff member to receive, organize and coordinate the instructional technology integration effort within their schools. The iT coach serves much as a literacy and math coach. He or she will provides onsite professional development with schools. The iT Coach works in classrooms to practice the best possible strategies to teach proven instructional programs, to differentiate instruction to meet a range of student needs, and to facilitate teachers in sharing experiences and learning from one another. This will be accomplished by:

• Facilitating workshops and study groups
• Coaching teachers, model lessons, and providing feedback to colleagues.
• Conducting planning meetings with teachers to analyze student work, review information regarding classroom assessments, and plan for instruction within the core programs.
• Differentiating support for teachers based upon demonstrated need.
• Organizing opportunities for staff to observe and participate in discussion and PD.
• Working closely with administration to assess teachers’ and students’ needs, and plan relevant professional development.
